Probably should have billed some upfront. But no, you are not a terrible person for building in a safe-guard. Just remember to remove it when you are paid.

antons7858yIs this a webpage only? Wondering how you are able to make it crash if it's just html/ccs/js
-
yusijs12508y@antons minified, uglified and base64 decoded the text. they can work around it if it happens, but assume they will pay before so shouldnt be an issue.
-
antons7858y@yusijs lol you encode your js code? can JS decode it after and still interpret it? sick
-
yusijs12508y@antons not the code, the date and string, so client can't search for e.g the error string etc. And since everything is bundled and uglified, it's v unreadable.
-
yusijs12508y@antons yeah, I know. Never done something similar before, but the company I'm doing the gig for is from overseas, which is why I wanted to take extra precautions.

bweston1618ySod that put a whole back door in, if they don't pay you take it down along with other infrastructure they may have.

yusijs12508yThey ended up paying me half prior to delivery, so removed the backdoor eventually ^^
Building a page for a company on the side, they said payment after page is delivered. I said they'd get a finished build, they were okay with it. I also added a couple random errors that will break the site after a month... Am I a terrible person? :3
I will remove the errors after I get paid, of course. :p
